Alkateya
Alkateya Lyrics

You've been walking for days, now
After days of walking, the surroundings are bleak and desolate

All is white and dreadful clean
The area is covered in a snowy landscape that gives off a feeling of fear

The coldness touches you
The frigid temperatures directly impact you physically

With a blade that cuts your skin
The freezing wind causes physical damage to exposed skin

All that's left now is pain
Pain is the only sensation that remains

Fear and solitude
Both fear and loneliness are felt simultaneously

And you feel like you've been framed
You are trapped and unable to escape your surroundings

By that mortal quietude
The silence of the area is intimidating and impacts you deeply

There's a spooky howl that freezes you
A frightening sound sends chills down your spine

And you feel like you're not alone
The presence of danger is palpable

Then you turn…in front of you
Something is now directly in front of you

There one lies upon a stone!
A person lies on a rock or surface in front of you

Like the flight of an arrow
A quick and sudden motion occurs

As the stroke of a sword
A violent and forceful action takes place

Over dim and distant barrow
In a far-off location, something ominous is happening

In your Soul and forward
The experience is impacting you deeply and moving forward

Through your bones, through your blood
The experience is affecting you on a physical and visceral level

With a warmth that is cold
Despite the malicious and cold nature of the experience, there's an undertone of something else

Coming always stronger
The intensity of what's happening is ramping up

Strikes you like a thunder
An event occurs that feels like a jolt to the system

All alone in the snow
With the people who have pursued and trapped you no longer present, you are stranded in a dangerous environment

White and clean, soon in red
The area is pristine, but the danger lurking beneath the surface will soon manifest and turn things red

Your heart is about to blow
The danger is so overwhelming that your physical reaction is drastic

This will be your last bed
Your fate is sealed and death is imminent

Patiently they have wait
Those that have followed you have been lying in wait with a plan

Silently followed you
Their tracking and pursuing of you was stealthy

Now you're weak and at their mercy
You've been weakened and are now at the complete mercy of those who have trapped you

In their eyes victory
To those who have captured you, this was always a victory they knew would happen

Here they come quietly
Those who have pursued and captured you are now making their way to you

In each step there's a treat
To those pursuing you, this is a reward or victory for their efforts

There's no way to escape
At this point, you are completely trapped with no option to get away

You just wait and you sweat
The anticipation of what's to come is intense and making you sweat with fear

Through the clouds comes the dawn
Morning is approaching, and the sun is beginning to rise

In the dark shining bright
The brightness of the rising sun breaks through the darkness of the environment

It's a new day coming in
A new day is beginning with new possibilities

But for you endless night!
For you, there will be no new day, just an endless night of death
